My first Porsche, graduated from GTis, Mercs and BMWs to the real thing. Bought a C2 Cab (2002), had it serviced at a official Porsche dealer 10 days later. They found several items needing to be done but were very professional. Less than six weeks later, and less than 1000 miles later, the passenger side carpets were absolutely flooded after one heavy storm. Immediately took the car to another official Porsche centre, without even looking at the car they said this would be caused by blocked drainage channels. Sure enough they found the channels all full of black muck. Five hours labour to remove and dry carpets, took five days to dry out. They say that all the electric control units (central locking?) under the driver's seat are fine. everything seems to work at the moment but I'm nervous as water and electrics are not good friends, and some time soon something will blow. But worse, my my Pioneer satnav unit is under the drivers seat, and that has stopped working. Porsche GB say all cars should be checked at service time to see if drainage channels are blocked, both the original Porsche centre, and the second one, confirm checking the hoses for blockages is essential (and quick) but apparently the work is not on the specified schedule of tasks. Of course the first centre says they did check. The second say there was a lot of muck in the channels. There's nothing in the owener's handbook telling me I should do this. Anyone know why it's not a specified service check?
